Illinois UnitedHealthcare® Nursing Home Plan

UnitedHealthcare Nursing Home Plans provide individualized, closely monitored care to nursing home residents. These plans help coordinate care through Optum nurse practitioners and physician assistants on behalf of UnitedHealthcare.

UnitedHealthcare Nursing Home Plan (HMO-POS SNP)

UnitedHealthcare Nursing Home Plan (PPO SNP)

Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) plans have a defined network of contracted physicians and hospitals to provide member care. Generally, members must use these providers to receive benefits for covered services, except in emergencies. Some HMO plans do not require referrals for specialty care.

Point of Service (HMO-POS) plans include all the features of HMO plans plus the ability to go outside the contracted network for certain health care services - typically at a higher cost. Many POS plans offer open access to care providers with no referrals needed.

Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) plans offer members access to a network of contracted physicians and hospitals, but also allow them the flexibility to seek covered services from outside of the contracted network, usually at a higher cost. Members do not need a referral for specialty care.

UnitedHealthcare offers Medicare Advantage Special Needs Plans (SNPs) that combine the hospital and doctor coverage of Medicare Parts A and B with Part D prescription drug coverage, plus additional benefits and services designed to meet the unique needs of identified Medicare consumer populations.
